Bodies of Water @ Rachel's Well Community Mikvah
Dec 15 @ 1:00 pm

Join us for Bodies of Water, an award-winning program that introduces you to mikvah as a path to body positivity from a Jewish perspective. Framed along with other healthy practices like mindful eating and Jewish yoga, this experience is a very special way to explore how mikvah is relevant in a modern Jewish life. We will watch a demonstration immersion by someone in their bathing suit, explore different ceremonies for mikvah use, learn simple ways to bless our food, and get a taste of Jewish mindfulness meditation.

This program will be centered around our fantastic community mikvah, Rachel’s Well.
